*Official* West Indies Tour of England, JULY 9th to 25th, 2024-- 3 TEST MATCHES

I know Kirk top scored in Australia but he was awful in the FC season as well. I think we all agree this approach cannot continue.

Andre Coley needs to put his foot down and make a statement. Enough of this farce.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

There we go.

 

[slowfinger]

I agree with the principle, but maybe be 25 off 50, not 10.

case in point watch how `Stokes conducts his innings when under pressure. Always overly-defensive early on but makes up for it later

Stokes 2-2 @SillyCowCorner1

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

There's clearly no method to our madness with the bat. It is poke poke poke.

 

[mackembhoy]

Stokes was looking in great nick for Durham with the ball.

He's continued it on here. We've sorely missed his bowling to be honest, nice to have a proper balanced side again.

 

[sledger]

I miss the days of the Windies just being a bit crap. They've unfortunately become considerably worse since then.

 

[CartyDurham]

As a fan of England and Durham it’s great to see Stokes being able to bowl again

and that was a great pull for 4 off his bowling

Yep this is not going to give us anything to shout about. Well end up 80 all out from 50 overs.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

The two Domincans are in the middle now. Let's hope the chemistry between them brings us a load of runs.

Oh, there's a boundary to get off the mark.

Fingers crossed, no

No matter what happens, Hodge has looked pretty reasonable in test cricket so far. Worth persevering with.

Agreed. He's probably the most experienced FC batter after Kraigg-- and experience matters in TESTS

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

It's comedy at this juncture.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

It wouldn't hurt a duck to build a partnership of sorts.

 

[slowfinger]

Quite rough from the Windies. Was expecting more from them this tour

 

[Beamer]

Wish I hadn't said anything now.

 

[sledger]

Absolutely abysmal shot by Hodge.

 

[Molehill]

They won a Test in Brisbane - I'm not really sure how looking at this.

 

[CartyDurham]

Dragon

they most certainly didn’t need one of those
